t on t and a peek

t on t is...

tidbits on Thursday...
Random stuff that's on my mind...

When I get the same or similiar question/comment several times in a week, I think maybe others want to know too...
so...
here we go...

1. Tell tim we want him to make scissors without the serrated blade...
HEY! He does.
Take a look @ his tonic scissors...one blade is serrated...
the other is smooth.
Don't want a serrated cut?
Turn the scissors over & cut the other way...
That was easy...

2. I got this same question 3 times this week...
This email is hilarious...and it lead me to an awesome blog...
Linda uses LOTS of studio 490 stamps...
pop over...you'll enjoy it.

This is from Andrea in the UK...here's a portion...
well I actually have another friend who has gone slightly mad on your stamps also and has a little dispute going on her Blog about the way your pronounce your name, strange I know, but could you if you get 5 spare minutes pop and put the answer there for her,

So...the answer is ...
our last name is BECKY...but with a V.

There is also another debate on Linda's blog, about how to pronounce MAYA ROAD...too funny!

3. My email is screwed up AGAIN...after 3 calls from friends yesterday asking why I didn't reply...

I KNOW for sure the issue is here.
HughesNet, our satellite provider has no answer...
Makes me totally NUTS!
So, if I haven't responded...that's why!

I'd like to know why the junk stuff comes thru with no problem...
This makes NO SENSE to me!

4. This one is embarrassing!
One of the emails yesterday was that I have 86 invites to facebook...
and I've not replied...
YIKES!!! how RUDE!

I don't do Facebook or Twitter.
SHOCKING...I know.
I'm probably the only person in the universe who doesn't.
The reason?
In order to make more time in the day & to keep up with things...
I've cut back on my computer play time.

This machine is very addicting & before I know it ...HOURS have passed and nothing is checked off the TO-DO list...
So, embarrassing as it is to be in the dark ages...that's me.

And worse yet...I don't even text!
Inky fingers are the reason for that...

I hope you haven't fainted by now...

5. The special yahoo group for our Mexico cruisers is going strong & it's getting to be so much fun.
We're really excited...planning...ordering stuff... teasing...

Think tim & I tease them?
YOU BET!!

Do they ask what the workshops will be?
YOU BET...

Do we tell them...

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!! ANTICIPATION.........

6. This is a frequent question...

What am I doing wrong? My stamped images aren't crisp & clear...one gal even brought HER pad to CHA for me to show her how to stamp...she thought her pad was defective...

The simple solution is to see if the pad needs to be reinked.

The pads last forever...but the ink gets used up. So try reinking...that's usually the answer. The CHA gal was excited to find the simple fix.

which leads to this one...

7. How much reinker goes on a pad?
That's a hard one...how dry is it?

For the distress pads, I usually use a whole dropper full.

For the archival & others...I'll use the reinker & scribble across the pad, then turn the pad 90 degrees & scribble again.

You can always add more...don't get carried away.

And yes...if you stamp lots of images on grunge, you'll notice that you need to reink the pads more often.

I think I'm forgetting one...

hmmm...can't remember...old age sucks...

if you have any...ask away!

Remember that if you leave a blog comment, but your user ID isn't available...I have no way to reply.

Now what?

Can't have a post without a photo...

Here's a little peek of a brand new class...

Lots of fun stuff going on here...
I had FUN designing it...can't wait to teach it for the first time...

Now it's time to finish the boxes for the Waco, Texas workshops for next weekend.
Then...I need to stamp some kits...

HOPEFULLY, I'll have a little time left to...

make art!
wendy
ps...Ah...the Somerset article...that's what I forgot!
Later...
